Abm slide up to Am repeat

Am           D               F                E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Am               D             F                E
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
Am            D                F            E
and behold in mighty city broken in the dust again,
Am C    D        E    Am C   D      E    Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again
Am           D               F                E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came
Am         D              F                E
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
Am                   D            F                     E
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the waste,
Am C    D        E    Am C   D      E    Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Am           D               F                E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Am           D             F            E
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
Am                    D             F                     E
For those who place their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid,
Am C    D        E    Am C   D      E    Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Am           D               F                E
Turn around, Go back down, Back the way you came,
Am                  D              F                E
And shout a warning to the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Am              D                F                   E
Against, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Am  C    D       E    Am C   D       E   Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again. Guitar solo
Am                    D             F             E
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Am                  D             F                E
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
Am              D             F                     E
You bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be your shame,
Am             D             F             E
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.
Am C    D        E    Am C   D      E    Am
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Am               D                  G    F                         
That Holy mountain be restored, and must see you that people, that people, 
Am  C
